  • Optical detector and amplifier for RF-detection having a position dependent capacitor with a displaceable membrane
    Patent number: 9660721
    Abstract: An optical detector for detecting radio frequency (RF) signals, the optical detector comprising a light source and a photodetector, and an electrical circuit comprising a position dependent capacitor and a bias voltage source adapted for providing a bias voltage for biasing the position dependent capacitor, the position dependent capacitor comprising an electrode and a membrane being displaceable in reaction to RF signals incident on the membrane, the membrane being metallized, has a thickness of less than 1 ?m and a quality factor, Qm, of at least 20,000, and the distance between the membrane and the electrode being less than 10 ?m.
    Type: Grant
